Kevin A. Ranson

Tomatometer-approved critic

Biography:

What his grammar school teachers called ?underachieving,? Kevin A. Ranson called ?being bored to tears? and spent every possible second making up projects to fuel his unattended creativity. After discovering nothing interesting at college other than movies and role-playing games, Kevin escaped from West ?By God? Virginia to travel the world for six years on the US Navy?s dime while compiling ideas for books, games, and screenplays.
Now from his home page at ThinkingSkull.com, he owns/manages MovieCrypt.com as a certified (or certifiable) film critic endorsed by the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org). He also works as a freelance game writer/designer when not working on his indie role-playing game at KindlingMoon.com. Kevin currently resides in Jacksonville, Florida.

... fans of the original should not be disappointed. With questions of human worth, value, choice, and sacrifice, it's what big sci-fi should be: holding onto humanity in the shadow of technology.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

If The Dark Tower was the underwhelming studio-trimmed Cliff's Notes YA version of that Stephen King story, (this) is the R-rated unabridged directors-cut vision of this one.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

... not unwatchable - just underwhelming... rushing past "the old stuff" just to get to telling new stories, and that's what this feels like... and all the Easter eggs in the world can't fix that. &dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

A family friendly procedural space opera fantasy adventure... Nicholas Hoult (would) have been a better choice for lead actor... (the film's) not great - questionably good but definitely okay.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

Can the MCU breathe new life into an beaten-down and bloated spider? ... yes, true believers! Tom Holland is Spider-Man... Keaton does for the Vulture what Molina did for Doc Ock - 'nuff said.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

This is what losing one's mind and self feels like, when a lack of empathy from trusted confidants can turn madness into violence... art-house psychological horror at its finest.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

Remember how you felt at the end of that 2001 Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes starring Mark Wahlberg? Who thought this was a great way to waste these actors and an entire budget? &dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

It's a rare screenplay that can introduce a compelling action character, create an entire world just beneath our own, and entertainingly destroy it from the inside out all in a hundred minutes.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

If you remember M. Night's work prior to The Happening and wished for a return to the kind of cerebral thrillers that the world was introduced to through his efforts, you're in for a treat.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

... the franchise is for fans by fans of the series... guilty-pleasure satisfied... (but) can we get a stat sheet to see how many hit points these characters have left according to the player's guide?&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

(When) the focus shifts to Mildred taking the lead, and that's when it becomes apparent what Negga brings to the role... should probably be required viewing in schools - lest we forget.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

... seems both stripped down in complexity for a new audience as well as cut into a bite-sized chunk to more easily swallow... neither of which is going to draw new fans to the franchise or keep current fans interested.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

Fans of Cohan and spooky flicks will find plenty to enjoy here - enough to give a positive recommendation for - but it will always feel like a missed opportunity not getting to see what we really hoped for.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT

If you... have nightmares about anthropomorphic food screaming as they're being consumed (or) are repulsed your groceries might be humping in the cupboard when you're not looking... this movie is not for you.&dash; MovieCrypt.com - EDIT
